What is it?
Cement is a crucial construction material used for binding and adhering various components in the construction industry. It is a fine powder typically made from a combination of limestone, clay, shells, silica, and iron ore. Cement is an ingredient in concrete.
Choosing the Best Trailer:
Selecting the right trailer for cement transportation is crucial to ensure safe and efficient delivery. Caron Transportation Systems uses pneumatic dry bulk trailers for cement transport for several reasons:
1. Airtight Sealing: Pneumatic dry bulk trailers offer airtight sealing, preventing moisture ingress and maintaining cement quality.
2. Bulk Capacity: These trailers can carry large quantities of cement, reducing the number of trips required for delivery.
3. Efficient Unloading: Pneumatic trailers use air pressure to unload cement quickly and cleanly, minimizing waste and downtime.
Considerations for Transporting and Handling:
When transporting and handling cement, it is essential to consider several factors to ensure its quality and safety:
1. Moisture Control: Cement is highly susceptible to moisture, which can compromise its quality. We ensure that the transportation and storage facilities are dry and adequately sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
2. Packing Integrity: Cement should be transported in well-sealed containers to prevent spillage and contamination during transit.
3. Loading and Unloading: Proper equipment and procedures should be in place to prevent damage to containers during loading and unloading.
4. Temperature Sensitivity: Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations during transport, as they can affect the quality and performance of cement.
